The doctors covered depend on the plan you select.  If you enroll in  Kaiser,  Group Health or HMSA, you are assigned a primary care physician when you enroll.  Your primary care physician will refer you to authorized specialists.

If you select the Trust Medical plan you are free to see any licensed provider however, the plan provides much higher benefits for those on the PPO plan when you see a provider in the Regence Blue Card network. 

Active employees have family coverage at no additional cost.  A covered dependent is outlined below: 

1. The lawful spouse of the employee. Your spouse is not eligible if you are legally separated.  In the event of the employee’s death, the surviving spouse is eligible so long as they are not re-married.
   
   
2. Unmarried children under age 19 who depend on you for support and who are:
   1. A natural child of either or both you or your spouse;
   2. A legally adopted child of either or both you or your spouse; or
   3. The unborn child of a deceased employee or retired employee.
   4. A child "placed" with the employee for the purpose of legal adoption in accordance with state law.  "Placed" for adoption means assumption and retention by the employee of a legal obligation for primary support of a child in anticipation of adoption of such child. However, if adoption is not finalized, the Trust reserves the right to request a refund of benefits already paid for said child.
      
3. Unmarried children who continue to depend on you for support can continue coverage after they reach age 19 if:
   1. The child is enrolled in a recognized educational institution as a full time student (12 credit hours or equivalent, not less than 8 months of the year) and who has not attained the age of 26.
   2. The dependent child cannot support him or herself because of a developmental or physical disability so long as all the following are met:
      • The child became disabled before reaching the limiting age; and
      • The child is incapable of self-sustaining employment by reason of developmental disability or physical handicap; and
      • Within 31 days of the child reaching the limiting age, the employee furnishes proof of disability to the Trust Office. The Trust Office must approve the request for coverage to continue; and
      • At least once a year, and after the two year period following the child’s attainment of the limiting age, the employee provides the Trust Office with proof of the disability.
        
        
4. An employee’s unmarried grandchild who:
   1. Meets the definition of a dependent child; and
   2. For whom the employee is providing the major amount of support; and
   3. For whom the employee has been named as legal guardian by a court of competent jurisdiction; and
   4. Is in the physical custody of the employee.

All employer contributions for work you have performed are credited (in dollars) to your reserve account. This is a continuing process. There is no limit to the amount you can maintain in your Individual Reserve Account. Your reserve account allows you to maintain eligibility through continued contributions adequate to fund your selected plan.  You may call the Plan Administrator to determine the dollars in your reserve account.

There is no limit to how much you may accumulate in your reserve account.

If you are enrolled in the Trust Medical plan, your doctor bills are paid by Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon.  Medical claim information is accessible online at www.myregence.com.

When you receive care, your doctor's office usually takes care of filing your claim.  However, to ensure your claim is sent to the proper address you must show your doctor's receptionist or billing department your ID card.   It is important that you ask that they update their computer records with the claim address information shown on the card.
